Trump says CDC advises cloth masks to protect against coronavirus, but he will not wear one

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump said the Centers for Disease Control now recommends using a cloth face covering to protect against coronavirus, but said he does not plan to do so himself.

Speaking at a White House news conference on Friday, Trump stressed that the recommendations were merely voluntary, not required. “I don’t think I’m going to be doing it” he said as he announced the new guidance.
